Frequently Asked Questions

A personal stylist is a professional who helps you develop and refine your personal style. At artgiftcustom, we analyze your body shape, coloring, lifestyle, and preferences to create a personalized approach to dressing. We help you build a wardrobe that makes you feel confident, saves you time getting ready, and ensures you always have something appropriate to wear for any occasion.

No special preparation is needed! Simply come as you are. For in-person closet consultations, we recommend having your wardrobe accessible so we can work through it together. For virtual sessions, having good lighting and a way to show us your clothing items is helpful. We'll send you a brief questionnaire before the session to understand your goals and preferences.

Yes! We offer comprehensive virtual styling consultations for clients throughout Canada and beyond. Virtual sessions work wonderfully for style assessments, color analysis, wardrobe planning, and outfit creation. We use video conferencing and can provide digital style guides, lookbooks, and shopping recommendations remotely.

During a wardrobe consultation, we'll go through your existing clothing together. We'll identify pieces that work well, create new outfit combinations you may not have considered, and determine what might be missing from your wardrobe. You'll learn which items flatter you most and how to maximize what you already own. This is a collaborative, encouraging process focused on building your confidence.

Session lengths vary by package. Our Style Discovery consultation lasts 2 hours, perfect for getting started with color and style analysis. The Wardrobe Refresh is a 4-hour deep dive into your closet. Our Complete Transformation is a full-day experience that includes everything from wardrobe editing to personal shopping. We also offer customized session lengths based on your specific needs.

Not necessarily! Many clients are surprised to discover how much potential exists in their current wardrobe. Our goal is to help you maximize what you already own first. When we do recommend new pieces, they're strategic additions that will work with multiple items you already have. Shopping is only included in certain packages or can be added as an optional service.

We're based in Vancouver, BC and provide in-person services throughout the Lower Mainland. For clients outside this area, we offer comprehensive virtual styling consultations that deliver excellent results. Our virtual services are available to anyone across Canada and internationally.
